This will bring up a dialog box.
To edit the shortcuts, the first thing you need to do is find
the action you want to edit. All of the possible actions are listed in
the combo box labeled
Action
. By using the
scrollbar, locate the action you are interested in and click once with
the left mouse button.
Once you have selected the action, you can turn your attention to
the bottom half of the dialog box. You use the bottom half of the dialog
box to change the shortcuts.
Defining custom keyboard shortcuts
You determine the key combination by clicking on the button with the current
keyboard combination in it. A second dialog will appear:
This dialog box allows you to determine two different key combinations
which will trigger the desired action:
Primary shortcut:
and
Alternate shortcut:
.
Defining simple keyboard shortcuts
Begin by deciding if you want to specify the
Primary shortcut:
or
Alternate shortcut:
, by placing a mark in the appropriate radiobutton.
The
button will clear the current keyboard shortcut.
Now type the keyboard shortcut into the keyboard. KWord will use this keyboard combination as the new
keyboard shortcut. The window will close automatically.
Once you have completed your entries, simply click on
OK
to accept the changes or
Cancel
to cancel your changes.
Defining multi-key keyboard shortcuts
Multi-key keyboard shortcuts can be used when you run out of simple keyboard shortcuts.
Multi-key shortcuts are edited the same as simple keyboard shortcuts, except a mark is placed in the
check box labeled
Multi-key mode
prior
to entering the keyboard shortcut.
You can now enter multiple keyboard characters for the keyboard shortcut.
Note
It is important to understand that keyboard
combinations
(i.e.:
Alt
+
Shift
+
P
) are still a
single character
because all the keys are
depressed at the same time.
An example of a multi-key combination would be if you press
Alt
+
X
, release both characters then type a
W
. This is a multi-key combination.
Once you have completed your entries, simply click on
OK
to accept the changes or
Cancel
to cancel your changes.
